OK, so I groomed Cricket yesterday... not so good results due to dull blades, and lousy "thinning" shears.

About those shears... I probably paid $4.99 for them at PetSmart about 18 years ago. I know I used them quite a bit on Feather when she was young and still had her thick coat, never used them on the fosters, didn't use them when Feather got older and naturally thinned her own coat. But now I have little Cricket, who has a very thick coat. I was wanting to blend as Julie showed-- ARG!

TOO DULL == Terrible results!

Oh well, it's just hair and hair grows, even though hers has taken 3 months to get long enough to need cutting...

Recommendations for thinning shears, please.

I have only owned one thinning shear and it has groomed about 8 spaniels over the years, the 44/20 Taper Fine. I have them sharpened regularly by the company. The do a great job and worth spending the money, they will last you a lifetime!
